Body Mystery Solved After 35 Days: Friend's Return Key
5 Jul
Summary
- Unidentified body found on railway track after 35 days.
- A companion's injury led to the victim's identification.
- Family seeks exhumation for burial per religious customs.
Thirty-five days after an unidentified man's body was discovered on a railway track in Alirajpur district's Ghonghasa village, police have successfully identified the victim as Farhan. The body was found on May 29, but severe disfigurement prevented immediate identification. The remains were buried as unidentified.
The investigation took a significant turn when a man, who had been with Farhan during the fatal accident and suffered injuries himself, came forward to the authorities. He provided the crucial detail that the deceased was Farhan, which allowed police to trace his family.
Farhan's elder brother positively identified the body based on slippers, a hand tattoo, and the clothing worn at the time of the incident. The family has since submitted an application seeking permission to exhume the body for a burial in accordance with Muslim religious customs. The legal procedures for exhumation and reburial are anticipated to conclude within approximately two days.
